I hate how I have to be suspicious of every single picture and drawing I see now and wonder if it was made by AI. There mere act of looking at art itself has been soiled. Even if I never use AI myself and avoid it as much as possible, it’s still done irrevocable damage and made my life worse.

Nah, these are just growing pains, as with the 'reality gap' in robotics. It's not some impossible barrier, just a question of automating the implementation in a more finegrained way. Like I said, I do see this as all being a net-negative in the long term, but right now it's free money.

All thanks to normalshits. I am sure I will suffer and I might have to kill myself but I hope everyone else will suffer orders of magnitude more than I. I hope parents will see their families crushed, I hope that even those cow brains will be able to know despair and regret for the shit choices they've endorsed all along. I fucking hate normies so fucking much it's unreal. The way they support the worst possible thing in the worst possible way every fucking time fucking mathematically is fucking unbelievable, it's like they do it on purpose. FUCK normies holy fucking shit. I was wrong in the last post, there is definitely nothing worse in this world than a fucking normie ape. Fucking disgusting all of them

Fundamentals aside, can trying to fix your own tastes alongside consuming more good media in general help you significantly if you're plagued with an unappealing art style/generally ugly drawings? Especially if your core fundamentals are somewhat decent

how the fuck do you even color like this? What is the true color of her skin, or her clothes, or anything? I just paint bucket fill and then I'm lost on step 2 because if I'm drawing something new with an arbitrary light source then I dont have a reference for where the shadows would be and I can't just simulate the drawing in 3d to find out. Then they have literally millions of colors blended between the shadow and the light and that takes HOURS or careful feathering with the blur tool or a soft round brush. Nobody has time for that.

There are too many people with great taste in comics, games, novels, and music but are mediocre or outright shit artists, game devs, writers, and musicians for it to be that straightforward. A good palate is a must, yes, but good taste alone isn't something you can infuse into your craft by just consuming stuff made by superior artists.

Hi everyone! It’s me, it’s me, it’s F-F-P! Coming at you live (not really) and I NEED YOUR HELP.
So for context, this is my favourite OC, Blanche. Her design has changed quite a bit over the years as I got more serious and developed her personality and story more. However, most people I’ve spoken to actually prefer the old design. It does have that lowest common denominator of being more traditionally attractive than the current design, but I really do think the new one fits her lore better. As an artist, I want to portray my own visions faithfully to myself but I cannot lie when I admit that my audience and colleagues opinions hold sway over me a bit. The allure of popularity and/or minor fame is intriguing.

Before I ask my question formally, here’s some background on the character:
Blanche is a dragon-person who, as an egg, was stolen away by a mischievous demon, and gifted to an enslaved underground people as a prophesied saviour-like figure that would free them. This promise would lead these underground people to raise her as a living weapon and a goddess. They gave her brutal martial training in secret but also sacrificed their resources to ensure she would grow big and strong, entrusting all their hopes and dreams into her. This leads Blanche to becoming a little apathetic to the underground world, begrudgingly doing as she was told since it was all she was taught and knew. After freeing the enslaved people from their oppressors, they installed her as the primary goddess of their society and relegated her to sitting in a temple most the time, sacrificing and praying to her. Because of her status, she makes no personal connections with anyone. Now she dreams of returning to the above ground world she’s only heard about in myth and legend.

So now my question is thus: How can I merge these two designs into the best version of the character it can be? Any and all thoughts welcome, rude and genuine! I’m in a real pickle!

Thank you.

Hey anon, I've seen your character around here before and I like her too. I love BBWs myself. Haven't read through the whole thread yet, but maybe you can look at Oga from Elf-san Yaserarenai as bodytype inspo? I feel a parallel, as she's naturally strong as an ogre (and Blance would be too as a Dragon), but also loves drinking alcohol and eating fattening food in general.
Maybe Oga's design will help you find that balance you're looking for.

my man critique would be that the hair looks too anime the particular way it is cut and styled. it reminds me of a japanese hime cut. maybe you could make it more of a mesoamerican blunt fringe like chel from el dorado, or create a headpiece that has a similar hanging effect

You're not wrong about the hair being too anime. It's a holdover from the very first drawing of her where I copied Satsuki Kiryuin's head. I added the vents later on.

Okay so since apparently nothing that I'm doing is working can someone give me a tutorial I can actually understand and apply?

I've looked at the tutorials and I genuinely cannot understand them or figure them out. I don't know how to break things down into basic shapes nor apply them to what I want to draw. Unless someone explains the exact process to me I'm going to keep banging my head against the wall doing nothing. I tried Loomis, didn't work. I tried IC sticky and gave up immediately. Nothing has worked for me.
